[Ica-sdistandards] Invitation to contribute to an abstract for the 2nd International Workshop on Spatial Data Quality 6th – 7th Feb 2018

[Serena Coetzee]

Dear all, 

this email is to Commission members from countries that are not members of EuroGeographics….

At the business meeting of the ICA Commission on SDI & Standards during the ICC 2017 in Washington DC July 2017, EuroGeographics offered to the Commission that their questionnaire be used for collecting information about the use of ISO standards in National Mapping and Cadastral Authorities (NMCAs) in countries that are not members of EuroGeographics. The questionnaire is attached to this email.

We are looking for Commission members from countries that are not members of EuroGeographics to fill in the questionnaire about the use of ISO standards for quality in their NMCAs. It should take no more than 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire. 

If possible, we need a response by 22 September so that we can compile and submit an abstract for the workshop in Malta by 1 October. 

If you are interested in contributing, please let me know at <serenacoetzee at gmail.com> (Franz-Josef is on leave at the moment).
